How to practise

Five practice methods that actually work

These are not tips. They are specific methods with specific steps. Each one targets a different skill.

Method 1 - Read and Listen

Skill: Reading fluency + pronunciation · Level: A1-B2 · Time: 10 minutes

Expand

WHAT YOU NEED

Generator set to your level. A quiet place where you can speak aloud.

STEPS

1. Generate 5 sentences at your level. 2. For each sentence: a. Read it silently first. b. Click Listen. Pay attention to stressed words, pauses and rhythm. c. Read it aloud yourself. Try to match the rhythm, not just the individual words. d. Click Listen again and compare. 3. After 5 sentences, generate 5 more.

THE RULE

Do not stop to look up words during the session. Mark them and look them up after. Looking up words during reading breaks the rhythm practice.

WHAT TO NOTICE

English sentence stress falls on content words: nouns, main verbs, adjectives and adverbs. The Listen feature models this naturally.

Method 2 - Tense Identification

Skill: Grammar recognition + tense awareness · Level: A2-B1 · Time: 10 minutes

Expand

WHAT YOU NEED

Generator: Type: Simple, Tense: Any, Vocab: Basic, Qty: 10. A notebook or text file.

STEPS

1. Generate 10 sentences. 2. For each sentence, write: - the main verb - the tense: present, past or future - how you know 3. Generate another 10 and try to get faster.

EXAMPLE

Sentence: "The teacher explained the rule." Main verb: explained Tense: past simple How I know: -ed ending on the verb

WHAT TO NOTICE

Some sentences use time expressions. Some do not. Can you identify the tense without the time expression? That is the real skill.

Method 3 - Imitation Writing

Skill: Grammar production + pattern internalisation · Level: B1-C1 · Time: 15 minutes

Expand

WHAT YOU NEED

Generator set to your level. A notebook or text file.

STEPS

1. Generate 5 sentences. 2. For each sentence: a. Read it carefully. b. Identify the structure: type, tense, conjunction and length. c. Write a new sentence using the exact same structure but different words.

EXAMPLE

Generated: "Although the researcher had reviewed the data carefully, the pattern that emerged was not what she had expected." Structure: Although + [subject + past perfect + adverb], [subject + past simple + that clause]. Imitation: "Although the student had prepared for the examination thoroughly, the questions that appeared were not what she had anticipated."

WHY THIS WORKS

You are not memorising sentences. You are internalising patterns you can use in your own writing.

Method 4 - Vocabulary in Context

Skill: Vocabulary acquisition + context reading · Level: A2-B2 · Time: 15 minutes

Expand

WHAT YOU NEED

Generator set slightly above your current level: Mixed vocab if you are Basic level, Advanced if Mixed. A vocabulary notebook.

STEPS

1. Generate 10 sentences. 2. For each sentence: a. Read the whole sentence. b. Find words you do not know. c. Guess the part of speech and possible meaning before looking them up. d. Write: word + definition + the sentence it appeared in. 3. Cover the definitions and read the sentences again.

WHY CONTEXT MATTERS

The sentence gives you the word's meaning, grammar and use all at once. That is stronger than memorising a list.

Method 5 - Sentence Transformation

Skill: Grammar production + tense conversion · Level: B1-C1 · Time: 15 minutes

Expand

WHAT YOU NEED

Generator: Type: Simple, Tense: Past, Vocab: Basic to Mixed, Qty: 10. A notebook or text file.

STEPS

1. Generate 10 past simple sentences. 2. Rewrite each sentence in present simple and future simple. 3. Check the verb form, time expression and meaning.

EXAMPLE

Original: "The student reviewed her notes carefully." Present simple: "The student reviews her notes carefully." Future simple: "The student will review her notes carefully."

ADVANCED VARIATION

Also transform into present perfect, past continuous and present perfect continuous. This builds the full tense system.

Common Questions

Questions learners ask

My level is somewhere between two levels. Which should I choose?

Start at the lower level. It is always better to practise with sentences that feel slightly easy than with sentences that feel too hard. Fluency comes from processing language quickly and accurately, which requires repetition at a comfortable level before moving up.

How many sentences should I practise per session?

Ten sentences per session is enough for most practice methods. More than twenty becomes fatiguing and the quality of attention drops. Ten sentences every day produces more improvement than fifty sentences once a week.

I keep seeing words I don't know. Is that normal?

Yes. That is the point of setting the generator slightly above your current level. If you do not know more than three words in a sentence, the sentence is at the right level for vocabulary learning. If you do not know five or more words, lower the vocabulary setting.

Can I use this to prepare for IELTS or TOEFL?

Yes, specifically for writing practice. For IELTS Writing Task 2 and TOEFL Integrated Writing, use Complex sentence type with Advanced vocabulary and Formal style. Practise Imitation Writing for 15 minutes before every writing practice session.

Is the Listen feature a real person's voice?

No. The Listen feature uses your browser's built-in text-to-speech engine. The voice varies by browser and operating system. It is not perfect, but it is useful for rhythm and stress practice.

How is this different from a grammar textbook?

A grammar textbook has a fixed set of example sentences. This generator produces sentences you have never seen before, every session, without limit. The grammar pattern stays visible because the examples are always new.
